Any good eReaders for editing?

I do a lot of writing, and work with several people in writing groups. I'd really like to start using an eReader to read stories (both my own and others), and do some editing to them (correcting grammar, punctuation, spelling, word and sentence additions, deletions, comments). Ideally I’d like to edit the document itself, though I haven’t seen any eReaders that do that just yet. At the least, I’d like to be able to make margin notes and export those in some kind of rational format that I can then send to someone and have them read the annotated text (like the track changes feature in Microsoft word).

Are there any readers on the market now that would let me do that, or should I wait to see how the next generation of readers turns out? Right now I have to either do it on paper and then type that into word, or carry a laptop. Neither of those works very well on the bus or while standing in line for something.

I have been looking at some of the newest readers like the iRiver Story, but everything seems focused on annotating text. I can’t see just how much work I can do with the text. Any suggestions on readers to look at, or should I see how the Que reader turns out?
